Ingredients

  • 100 ml milk
  • 1 tsp Chocolate flavour protein powder
  • 200 g dried pitted dates roughly chopped
  • 3 high protein wheat biscuits
  • 100 g California Walnuts + 15g for sprinkling
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 50 g mixed seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C, gas mark 6. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment.
  • Heat the milk and protein powder in a small saucepan to just below boiling, remove from the heat and add the dates, leave to soak for 5 minutes.
  • Place the dates and any liquid a food processor and pulse to give a coarse paste. Crumble in the wheat biscuits and add the Walnuts, egg and cinnamon and pulse again to give a coarse texture. Stir in the seeds and press into the prepared tin, smooth out the surface and sprinkle with the remaining Walnuts, pressing them in slightly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool, brush with maple syrup, if using, then cut into 12 bars.
